Bacon, Onion, Garlic, Baked Potatoes

I love bacon! So I am always looking for ways to use bacon with various dishes. This potato dish can be prepared in the oven or on the grill. I have experimented with this combination doing it couple different ways. Sometimes I forget to take notes on my experiments so the next time I try to recreate the dish I do it a little bit different. I share two versions of this recipe with you. You can not go wrong with bacon, red potatoes and garlic in any form.

I had put the cheese in before baking but it would have been better to wait and add the cheese the last five minutes of baking so the cheese does not burn to a crisp. Either way it was tasty.

Uncover and top with cheddar cheese then recover for five more minutes of baking to allow cheese to melt. Serve hot.
